What is Kanban? Was that the original name? I ask because it's on all of your page titles.

Kanban just means "visual card" or "sign", but it's a name for a technique used in lean software practices. (Specifically, the board display in Zen is called a "kanban board".) It comes from the JIT inventory system of the Toyota Production System.
